From My Perspective

​ Recently I’ve been wondering how so many people connected with a seemingly high level of spiritual development can be blind to things and to people who are so obviously the opposite. I scroll through places like Facebook and feel as if we are losing all that is positive. Everyone seems to be looking for and expecting signs of disrespect. The political environment has become a serious version of “I’mokay because I declare that you’re not.” We are not stupid people, but we act like it when we function at and accept such low levels of moral development as if this is the way to be now. Why are many of us so insecure? Why is the media fixated on glorifying negativity? And why are we letting any type of evil transpire? It is so frightening and frustrating to realize that there is immeasurable beauty andgoodness in the world, but many people are choosing to accept destructive, degrading, and demoralizing messages, behavior, etc.

I hope that someday soon we will base our choices on things like equality of human rights, respect for others, justice for all, etc., because that is the higher level of moral development that will bring us gratitude and happiness. And that is the only way totrue personal power.
